According to the updated fees listed on the passport application website, an expedited 48-page application now costs GH¢800, while an expedited 32-page application now costs GH¢ 700.
The 32-page passport now costs GH¢ 500 for individuals who want to apply via the normal application, while the 48-page passport costs GH¢ 644.
